This model is a larger version of the Nigel Hawes 400-powered Tucano featured in RCM&E.

There
are now approximately 5000 of these 30" Tucanos being enjoyed worldwide! Their success was unquestionably down to excellent
performance and duration from CHEAP components. And of course the Tucano is simply a GORGEOUS aircraft!

Well, the larger version benefits from exactly the same philosophy but with MUCH more to
offer! Even a £30 600/buggy motor & gearbox will make this model perform beyond your expectations - but fit
a modern AXI brushless motor and very few i.c. models will get near it!

But why has he made a
larger version?

Simple!

It
has a rudder, so it can do far more aerobatic manoeuvres including knife-edge flight.

It
has an undercarriage option, so it can be operated like an i.c. model from tarmac runways.

It is MORE THAN CAPABLE of doing the full BMFA "B" certificate schedule.

It
can still use VERY cheap components, i.e. a £30 geared 600 motor and 3 £10 miniservos

It
is a much more acceptable size, and will fly VERY SLOWLY!

But
fit an AXI 2820/10 and it has UNLIMITED VERTICAL PERFORMANCE!

On
GP3300NiMhs it will fly for over 16 MINUTES!

The
kit contains the finest balsa you will ever see in a kit, hand selected by Nigel himself. As a result you
are guaranteed to end up with a bare airframe weight of around 14oz, ensuring a light and agile finished model. A clear moulded
canopy and CNC-cut motor mounting former are also included as well as accessories etc.
